What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the first & the only truly specialized branch of dentistry.

To put it very simply – Orthodontic treatment deals with moving the teeth and/or jaws to its correct position, such that each tooth is placed in its most stable & functional position, which in the bargain delivers a beautiful smile. For example, if a person has a crooked set of teeth, with the teeth not in line with one another, orthodontic treatment can get the teeth in proper position, where all teeth are arranged in the correct contour stabilizing them in their most functional positions, in the process, delivering a beautiful smile !!
